eMedia Guitar For Dummies

Didnt load to several computers. Your right about the dummies if you buy this.

I was part of the generation whose introduction to the guitar was via Bert Weedons Play In A Day guitar tutor. Now come on, hands up how many of you remember that?

Its been about 12 years since I first learnt to play the guitar and Ive been trying to rekindle my interest in it for about a year now. During that time Ive tried a couple of PC tutorials, a DVD and even the Guitar for Dummies book but have had very little success. The main problems were always the same - first, they offered poor tuning information or software, leaving the chords sounding horribly wrong; and second they either went too quickly, assuming a good level of knowledge, or just didnt engage you very much in wanting to learn.

I bought this to help my son learn to play the guitar. The CD doesnt work - cant even get it to come up on my computer. I insert it into the disc drive and nothing happens. I contacted the company directly and received NO response. Very disappointed in this purchase.

This is pretty good for beginners. Some have complained it was too beginner, others say its too complicated. works for me though. You dont need to know much to earn a little song pretty quickly

Ill admit right here that Ive not spent too much time with this. The content is pretty good from what I have seen, but in my opinion this doesnt hold anything that cant be found freely on the internet via youTube etc.

Still can’t play, but I can follow the chords

I bought this for a friend who has a mac with no place to insert a dvd. Is there a version of this that can be downloaded?

I am still learning, as Ive only been through the first two chapters, but are already starting to pick it up quickly. I really like the built in tuner, metronome and instructions on how to string a guitar for when one of your strings inevitably will break.

I opened up the package and inserted the disc in my computer. Nothing happened. When I went to check the disk it said there was nothing on it. Not a happy camper. Could just be a bad disk. Ill look to getting the same thing at my local book store.
